Mr. Bell concluded by proposing as a toast, " The Port of Tyne, and Prosperity to its Commerce." This speech was received with mneli,cheering and applause. Mr. Bell's clear and manly avowal of his prin ciples, delivered in as eloquent and energetic manner, made a very great impression on the company. NO at numarßi,Asn.-.....(Fr0m a Correspondent.)--A little before three o'clock this day, the silver tones of St. Mary's bells, sweetly -announced across the water, the arrival of Thomas Went worth Beaumont, EN., one of the late representatives of Nor thumberland ; and immediately afterwards, the powerful belle of Newcastle joined chorus with their jocund music. Mr. Beaumont levied rapidly through the streets, in his harouche and four, and was soon at the Turk's Head Inn, when the white flag was unfurled, in compliment to the worthy gentleman. He was loudly cheered by the populace; and the gentlemen acting upon his committee, with some of the heads of the law agents, appeared at the vestibule Of the Inn, to congratulate him on his safe return to the north. The Whig Dinner, at Shields; yesterday, (S. lldertim, Esq., in the chair,) was attended by about 80 gentlemen. There wag, it is said, "a general dealing in denunciations and menaeinue proceedings, &c. Noes verrons. At all events it should be borne in mind, there are two rides to every account. A sensible writer in the Newcastle parer of this day, has addressed surge pithy lines to my Lord Howick. Perhaps his Lordship will do well, to pay some little attention to them. " En couraged," he says," no doubt by the cheers of some of your fol lowers, you proceeded (on a late occasion at Alnwick) to call on Mr. Beaumont to account fur his having, in the year 1888, enter taioed, and then relinquished, a design of retiring altogether from the representotion of the county. To this call, although quite impertinent, and, in Mr. Beaumont's absence, unfair attack, he has answered, as he has done to every particle of your speech, with a condour and 'Wiriness which nothing but conscious rec titude and an undaunted spirit could have dictated. Hie an swer, too is complete.-.omnibus numeric absolutus. But I have one word of advice to address" to your lordship on that head. I perceive you are advancing to the edge of a frightful precipice; and there are persons very near you who would not care to push you down it, provided their vengeance could he satiated." There are many other grave points in the address, from which the above extract is taken, though to give them here would elongate this article somewhat too much, —Newea stk-upon- Tyne, 6th Ans. Paitsrois, June b.—The writs for the election have been re ceived, and the polling will, in all-probability commence on :Sa turday, or Monday at farthest. The candidates that are here are in the thick of business.••• Mr. Stanley conies in to-morrow even ing in state. • The pretensions of William Cobbett to the representation of Preston, will, it is said, meet with a powerful check. Captain Robert Barrie, of the 'Royal Navy, has been solicited, by a depute- tioe from a numerous body of the most respectable inhabitants of Preston, to offer himself as a candidate at the ensuing election; for which purpose the gallant Captain started on Tuesday night, at twelve o'clock, from Hatchett's Hotel, Dover-street, with all pos sible speed, to the scene of action. SANDWIti;,---Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Owen and Mr. Marryet will walk 'over the course at Sandwich. Sostitainer.—Sir T. Lethbridge, attended IT his family and Mr. Popham, arrived at Taunton on Monday night. Some of his friends in that twit, accompanied by the military bind, Were going out to meet him ; but as they wernprepering to start, he drove up to the Castle Inn, at a rapid rate; the horses being de corated with blue ribands, and the baronet in an open carriage with Mr. Popham. At the turnpike-gate he was 'met by 'tome person, in the opposite interest, who saluted him 'ley cries 'of 44 Yen are a boroughmonger, what do you 'do here ?" Two or three hundred persons wore assembled round the Castle, expect ing a speech ; but separated 'on learning that, Sir Thome, was not erode on eleetion bueitiees, and that lie had determined not triCan- VIM a single freeholder. Some' person by the ettatle'propesel three elwers, but he was checked, and the feeling of the people seemed of a different description to that which led them to drag him into the town when the " no-Popery" ory was raised, and strong beer in profueion was distributed to the people. The Rev. Henry Cresiell soon after Sir Thomas's arrivith drOee into the • town, and coming under the Castle window gave out three new flags tot he placed'at the principal houses resorted - to by his brother's friends, with suitable inscriptions upon them. He cal led on Sir Thomas to come .forward, and explain to the electors what connexion he , had had • with the celebrated Mr. 'Bayley, and upon whatretenierhe had dared to insult the electors by re commending that person to their support. Sir Thomas, however, sleclined to come forward, :when Mr. Crowell, who. was Wittily cheered by the multitudeoutid, that Sir Thomas lied now shown the white feather plainly enough, and he woidd take care that he should not sneak into a hole and corner on the; day of !lumina tem, when, as a man antic freeholder of ,Somentet, he would. dammand it, pl arstion. 0 f his cowl** one %hie and other .. ppints. This t"°Elti"il (Tuesday), Bilmend Creswell, Esq. accompanied by the eon of the candidate and another gentleman, arrived in .a coach and four at the White Hurt, and announced to the ' electors that his brother would be happy to meet them to-morrow morning. It is said that a fourth candidete will be here to morrow. Yonx.—York is likely to be contested. Mr. Wyvill began his canvass en Thursday, and Mr. ;Pandas, another Whig, and Mr. Wilson, a Tory, - arrived in the city on Friday, and immediately proceeded to wait upon the freemen for their suffrages. Mr. Wyvill and Mr. Dundee, being both of the woe political senti ments, attempts were made to form a coalition, and it was agreed on Sunday night that a union should be formed the : following morning. Unfortunately, however, Mr. Wyvill'e committee: m inim(' to unite, unless upon a condition .to which Mr. Dmidas would not accede. :,The latter gentleman, consequently, on Mon day mornitii, gave up the contest. Friday is fixed for the elec tion, when it is expected the two present candidates will be elect ed without opposition. Voltam rtr.L—lt has been romoured that Mr.Bethell would not come to a poll, hut his friends appear determined to support him. They held a meeting in York on .Monday last, in order to adopt those measures which were likely to secure his return: Mr. li. is a Tory, but one of truly liberal s en ti men t s —h e i s O ne th roug h principle. He has issued an address to the freiholders,•, stating that he offered himself asimindependent-eountry gentleman, on connected with anylrarty,: end. aeteatedhy no. views of private interest.

The town of lVialdon was thronged by day-break with this-friends of the several candidates, aysll•alehnluse displayed a harmer expressive of the interest for winch it wax engaged, and the swop was rendered doubly animating by the presence of three distinct bandsof frantic" which continued to Pcinuie.tinestreets during the day. . A temporary hustings had been erected outside the Tmen.lisli,' under the directions of the Chief Itiagietrate of the borough, and ut nine o'clock yesterday morning.the candidates accompanied , by their partisans, proceeded thither, end. found t h e ,.., MePit :already in attendance.

Mf. J. Ilyaucvr seconded the nomination, and observed that even when Mr. Dick represented a neighbouring baronet (fps-. wich) , he" had always expressed a most anxious desire to bleak down that county confederacy which ruled the borough of Mal don. Though he might have returned to Ipswich, therefore, where he was known, he had e. fair and powerful claim on the freemen of Malden, having long felt deeply interested in the pre servation of their rights.:—(Cheers.) Mr. Dtcx then came forward, and was received with tumul tuous cheers ; when order had been, in some degree, restored, he briefly addressed ihe electors, avowing himself to be generally disposed to reduce the pressure of taxition,and to confer all the b ene fit in s b is power on the.l4ouritig classes of the community-. If he had the honour of being returned to a seat in Parliament, he should spare no exertions to diminish the weight of taxation, and. to promote the interests of the Creernin of the horough. He knew it would be said that he was not an inhabitant of the county, but ke stood on stronger grounds—he was a subject of this realm ;he stoo I on the broad ground of independence ; and though a stran ger in the county, he would not be less desirous sedulously to at tend to the interests of his constituents. He would not at pre sent enter into any political discussions. If he had the good for tune to be returned, he should vote on every occasion to the best of h i s j u d g m en t.—(Chettrs.)—Th ere was one question, however, on which he thought it his ditty to declare his sentiments explicit ly—that was the question called Catholic Emancipation, and on this subject he felt himself bound to state, that he was decidedly , opposed to any concessions to the Roman'Catholics.—(Great•ap plause, and cries of "No Popery.l—He should • reserve himself on many details for future occasions, when he should have the honour of addressing the electors. Whatever might be the final result of the election, he would persevere until every freeman hail an opportunity of giving his vote—(Cheters)—and if he had the happiness to be the object of their choice, he repeated, that he should evince his gratitude by an unremitting attention to their interests.—(Shouts of applause, and cries of " Ho Popery," and " Dick for ever.") Air. BussurroN next came forward to propose the Hon. Geo. Winn, whose private character he warmly eulogised. He said, Mr. Winn was most advantageously know» to the county of Es sex, for he:had been long a Magistrate for that county, and in dis : . charging the important duties of that office had given an earnest of the manner in which he would conduct himself, if elected to. serve in Parliament. Mr. Winn's connexions were well known and highly respectable, his private character was most estimable, and in his opinion no man could he better qualified to represent the borough ; fur these reasons he felt great pleasure in putting in nomination the Hon. Geo. Winn.—(lluzzas, and shouts of ' " Blue for ever.") Sir .lonst TYRREL seconded this nomination, and bore testi mony to the estimable character which Mr. Winn held in the county, and to his meritorious exertions as a Magistrate. lie had recommended and effected many local arrangements of great utility, and was every way fit to represent the borough. His po litical principles, too, he had fully diselesed„and they were such as did him credit.—e(Cheers.)—Altogether he felt that he was doing his duty to his fellow-burgesses by supporting such a man. Mr. Wtstn then addressed the assembly, and was received with warm acclamations. He entered into a very explicit exposé of his opinions on almost all the great leading political questions. He expressed his concurrence an the measures of his Majesty's Ministers, which he felt himself generally disposed to support ; and spoke in high terms of the credit due to his Majesty's Minis tars in general, and to Mr. Canning in particular, for the com bined prudence, wisdom, and liberality displayed by him in the recognition of the South Amerisan States. In conclusion, he hoped it would not he deemed presumptuous, gins felt that be un derstood something of the local interests of the freemen of Malden, and he could sincerely assure them that if they did him the honour of electing him, he should use his most zealous endeavours to for ward their real interests. We have thought it the less necessary to enter in detail into the opinions expressed by the Hon. Gentle men on the preeent occasion, as his address to the freemen of Mildon resident in London is already before our readers.l ' The Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst repeated cheer's. Mr. Ilatmunry (of the km of Truman, Ilanhury, and Flux. tun) neat eame forward torlt*OPtebe Mr. Leopard, Ile stated that lie was a mare man of hominess, and dirtelaime& all intention of Ontering upon political topics. He confeeeed he was not per sonally very intimate with the roan he role to put in nomination, hitt, from all he had heard of his private and public character, he believed him to be a very estimable man, and welt qualified in every point of view for the situation to which he : aspired. With out further preface, thirefore, he proposed that Mr. Leonard should be piit in notnination..--(Applause, with cries of " Bravo, Leonard for ever !") Mir. MAY, of.

Upon his first' visit to the Borough, on his Canvass, he was met by a figure with a crozier in hie hand, and itecompanied with a band of music. This crozier-bearing gentleman preceded him into town-4 Laughter. he person who played this conspicuous part, hnwever, in doing him honour, bad been thrown into the kennel.— (Laughter.)...-However, the result of all this was, that at the time alluded to, he was generally con s id ere d i n 'Weldon as anemic airy of the Pope, and some persons now went.further, and said he was the Pope himself;' but he would assure the electors, that het would joyfully resign all pretensions to the triple crown,: in return for their electing hitn to serve them in Parliament. ' Now as to the question of what some persons called Popery...—(Greet cries of ".We'll have no Popery.") On thi► subject he admitted th a t he was a friend to civil end religious liberty-.-(Great cheers) and as such he was disposed to tolerate all religions. In this doc trine he wa► borne out by the example of the wisest and most illustrious men of the age ; would first instance his Ma. 4esty, the present King, who had proved himself decidedly fa vourable to toleration. (The speaker , was here interrupted by deafening shouts of " N 0,., no," and cries of "No Popery.7)' He said every man had 4 right to hold his own opinions, and ha must claim the right of declaring on what his opinions were grounded. He would now advert to the conduct of his Majesty when Prince of Wales ; , but when he became King of , Hanover, the Allt proceeding of bit Giwornmeut was to pass an Act of general toleration. Passing from this subject, he was the derided Irked of_ Reform. (Lund cheers.) If he Will Sent into Parliament, h 6 would endeavour to curb the lavish expence of Ministers. Ne•would 'watt+ . theme closely on this point, but his attention should he directed to measures, rather th an t o T o r o ; and he would endeavour, if they refused in him that important trust, to which he aspired, to discharge his duty in a manner which would earn him the approbittien of hilt ..... .. ents ; which it would ever he his pride to tleseilre. (Shouts and huraas, which lasted several minutes, succeeded this gentleman'a aiklresc). A show of hands was then taken, and as Mr. Lennard's friends had mustered strongly in the immediate - vicinity of the hustings,, this expression of public fee4ing was decidedly in his favour. The Mayor, however, without convideration, decided in favour of Mr: Dick and tlr. Winn, 'which' occasioned loud cries of " shame, shame," from the surrounding. multitude. The Mayor apologised; he said be had mentioned the name of Mr. Dick from inadvertency; his decision was in favour of Air. I.enna 71 . eliding arid Mr. Winn, and he Avished to know whether Mi. . Dick mended a poll.- Mr. DiCK replied in the affirmative, end expressed his deter- minatimi to p ersevere un til e very voter wet polliel. tllll then commenced, and the scene which this little town presented during the entire day'bninas description.

WzLsoN said—As I told you before, Gentlemen, I will vote only as I shall be, instructed by. you; , but when I am not in structed by my constituents, then I will act according to m y own judgment. But, oto Parliament flementl ex e c n e pt must,on the ly understanding ygth at thatcannot I am to be perm i tted sense, to a support extending to al thecuse of civil Why,iltsand religiousliberly in t h e b roadest Gentlemen, thiS clamour against admitting the Roman Catholics to a partici pation in the rites and privileges of the constitution, is raised for the purpose of preventing us from acquiring the suffrages 'of six . millions of our fellow-subjects for the cause of Reform in the re ihdaviee beeniiin conceded to °f tl t i l e irc"bjust Catholics, When this thenciaoinilysilawlill mar riage between the two countries of England and Ireland be a real one ; and then, it will, be earlier than a nine months'. child, the cherub Reform will spring into the world.—(Loud and con tinued applause.)---I am with rdereuce 'to this subject, of civil and religious liberty, like the King of Holland, who, of all the Sovereigns of the Continent, makes laws the best adapted to the welfare and happiness of all deem . ; of his subjeCts; and who renders his dominion an asylum fer"the unfortunate of all`descriptions, from whatever quarter they come. Why, Gen denten, what did he do? His subjects consisted of much *bowl the same numbers of Catholics and l'rotestanta, end when he pro- i posed to appoint a Commission to frame a Constitution for his States, it came to be a question who should be nominated for that .Cenunission, and it was determined, that as the numbers of Pro testants and Catholic% in the kingdom were about equal, the Com mission should consist of twelve Protestants and twelve Catholics. Rut then another question arose—who was to be the Secretary? which was he to be? Catholic or Protestant? He was told that there was a person remarkably well qualified to be Secre tary to such a Commission, but that that person was a Jew. ,Well, said his Majesty, and what then ? If the person be well mialitied for the situation, let that Jew be my Secre tary. Now, observe, Gentlemen, 'Mat although his Majesty of Holland was so very liberal 'and impartial in his sentiments, ho had no particular predeliction for Jews ; while other Sove -1 reigns, not quite so liberal,.were very fond of Jews. The King' of Holland wanted no loans from them, while 'other Soiereigns did ; and he had seen an historical picture in which these So vereigns were represented with a splendid dinner before them, and upon the entrance of a certain very rich Jew with a heap of • money-bags, all rise up in raptures, throwing down plates, knives and forks, spoons, and other things; but all this while the King of Holland sat calmly and contentedly eating a Dutch herring, and said that he would have nothing to with the Jew.—(Loud cheers anal a laugh. ).—After the example of . his 'Majesty of Holland, I would extend the blessings of civil and religious liberty to all sects whatever, and of course to Roman Catholics among the rest. I tiaiv the Pope on his return to Italy, and how did he return ?. Not by means of Roman Catholics, but with the help of 10,0001. given him by Protestants. But, Gentletnen, whatever may be the opinions as to the existence of the Papal nosier, either as a Spiritual Superior, or as an independent Temporal Prince, I certainly think, that the best plan would have been to' have' made Rome the capital of Italy, and to have given the Italians a free and independent representative Government, and then all woithlhave been sensible that they might defy the Pope and tl t e Devil, and all their works..--(Chaers.)—Gentlemen, there are skies% in all Churches, and I will tell you plainly my own opinion about the manner in which she Clergymen in the ser vice of every Chureh ought to he Maintained and . supported.—, I think that no Church aught' to' have a territorial revenue— tended h}• a t thing that no Chur c h linit u o "i u t gh n t• e t e : "t h I v Y e be t t ut i t .y h a e t h a t bl ep h l a i se :t e Ll° . t T h h i Clergy n ia k , of any Church ought to' receive stipends or salaries' from Go his etas vernment; but that, as is the case in the United States of America, every sheep should Gentlemen, is my opinion: But I have had an infallible secret for dissipating' the ' apprehensions of those who entertain, as they pretend, such a dread of the Pope and of Papists ; for, if, the principle upon which I acted when I went last to Spain had been adopted by our Government, and deeidedly maintained, I believe all might have dismisaed their fears , - of Pope or Inquisition. Gentlemen, Whether I 'Vote for or against 'the Ministersy my only object •is the' good of my reruin.'. try ; I never vote for the Government- as -a -, Government, but vote for them when they do that which 1, in my conscience, believe to be for the advantag e of the Country, merely on the ground that the measure is` of that beneficial iltscrifition.— Gentlemen, If Mr. Canning were here, and' you were called• npon to give hint three cheers for his having abandoned the Holy Alliance, 1 would certainly recommend it to you to give these three cheers, and I believe you would, be well disposed to give them. In like manner, if Mr. Peel wire here, and you were called upon to give him three timers for his amendment of the Criminal Law and his abandonment of the Alien Bill, I would be anxious that you should give the cheers, and I think you would not refuse them. Now, Gentlemen, with respect to the questions which have been put to us, I believe I have, in the course of my statement, fully answered them already. 1 h ave osly again, Gentlemen, to return you my hearty thanks. —You have done honour to yourselves, as well as• to me, by the manner in which you 'have countenanced the just and liberal principles of Government irne a a t ri l il elt on a t i t itthvi opposite m y; you i xanti interest aushltdti has while than k salvytao ns e qu al you, Gentlemen, for the patience and favour with which you have s e a li t s te te n n t ed ion t t o i l wtt l th b e eg ea l n e i a l v id e a t te o I am very anxious that . you would do so, beeause the party may so Commit himself by what he says, in my canvass. Gentleinen, you know me and my causes and that cause is the same with that of my worthy Colleague, for I never would consent to coma ; into Parliament by a compromise with any one, of 'objects and views different from those *hi& I think conducive to the real interests of my country. In con elusion, I request- that you will give three shouts! that 'may, rend the skies, and prove like the sounds of *met music to your friends, and the voice of thunder to your enemies —(Immense cheering;) Mr. CeLvarer said, with respect to the questions that had been put, that it had not occurred to him to give them any direct gnawer ; they must be aware, 'that no such answer wee requi re d ; for they all kn e w that he 'was now, as be always had been, the advocate of Parliamentary Reform, and of Civil and Religious Liberty.

The Honourable Candidate was but very imperfectly audible, from the frequent interruptions he met with in every sentence of his address; from the crowd surrounding the hustings. The HIGH Ramer proceeded to , call for a show of bands, which were held up almost unanimously in favour of Sit Robert Wilson and Mr. Calvert. A poll was demanded by Mr. Polhill, however, on the High 'Witt declaring Mt. Calvert and Sir Robert Wilson duly elected: • Mr. CALVERT and Sir R.

The result of their exertions was not, in his opinion, the leitot to he doubted; and while he returned theta his sincere thanks for the kindness . manifested to him on that occasion, he had only to entreat a con tinuance of their favours.--(Loud cheers).
